Hello from Central Alberta

[The Tig Kid]

Hey Guys,

New board member, I've been welding since 2002. Really enjoy tig or making a nice looking weld with any style of welding. I became a welding instructor at a local college in the fall and really enjoy it. On and off through my career I've toyed with the idea of buying a tig machine. As with a lot of you I've been watching welding tips and tricks and that is where I found Everlast welders. So I'm very close to placing an order, I'm looking at the 250EX and a super cut 50 plasma. Any thoughts on either of them would be appreciated. Funny thing today I was looking at KIJIJI and found a Miller Maxstar 200DX for $450!!! It was gone in three hours, what a steal that would have been eh. Anyway I hope to be an Everlast owner soon and be a regular contributor to the forum.

Thanks,

Tig Kid

The 250EX is awesome but I would get the Power Plasma 50 instead of the supercut. Welcome to the forum.

Why would you choose the Power Plasma instead?

Why would you choose the Power Plasma instead?

It's IGBT rather than mosfet, and more durable.

It really depends on the amount and thickness of the cutting. But the Power Plasma 50 is quite the machine for the price. I have a 50 and 80. If you go with the 250EX and PP50, all that is left is a good MIG.

Welcome aboard.
